This recipe boasts a Japanese marinade and a slightly sweet glaze. Like many other Asian stir-fries, it goes well over steamed brown rice.

  • Yield

    serves 4, 1 cup per serving

Ingredients

Marinade

1/4 cup chopped onion or 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sake or dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)
1 teaspoon wasabi powder (optional)
1 teaspoon soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon grated peeled gingerroot
1 pound boneless sirloin steak, all visible fat discarded, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup fat-free, no-salt-added beef broth
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce (lowest sodium available)
2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
2 cups fresh or frozen sugar snap peas (8 ounces), trimmed if fresh
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, stir together the marinade ingredients.

    Step 2

    Add the steak, stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to 12 hours, stirring occasionally if marinating more than 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, stir together the broth, brown sugar, and teriyaki sauce. Set aside.

    Step 4

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the steak with any remaining marinade for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned, stirring occasionally.

    Step 5

    Stir in the broth mixture. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Step 6

    Stir in the peas. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until most of the liquid is gone and the steak is glazed, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 7

    Also known as Japanese horseradish, wasabi is available in paste and powder. Both pack a powerful pungency, so add wasabi in small amounts. The powder form of this light green condiment is usually mixed with water or other liquids.
